Our Son Was Born

Our son was born
Twenty seven years ago
He now pats my shoulder
And says ‘Mother your know
That I will set up your computer
And maintain it methodically
That you may bring comfort
Within your gifting of simplicity’

I looked at him
And just had to smile
My Son, I said
It’s taken a long while
For your Mother
To walk this very alone trail
But I’ve asked my Father
That over calmer waters you may sail
As you have taken my hand
And learned from me
The intricacies
Of living life free.

Again he smiled
As he spoke these words
And my sensitive nature
Every word heard
Then contemplated
As I strolled the garden lanes
This insight
Daily with me remains

‘ When you are happy Mother
I am happy too’
Yes we have the ability
To reflect what we think say and do

…As our Son celebrates
His birthday this day
We bow our heads
And with thankfulness say
Our Heavenly Father
Ordered our every step
And His promise of a son
He faithfully kept

For his expertise we are grateful
And his ability to gently persist
Has enabled ‘Place of Springs’
To be birthed and now exist.

This birthday is ‘special
As it brings ‘A brand New Home’
May his roots go down deep
In this place of his very own.

Love Mother. Zechariah Chapter 3-10
